Show Me Some Science: Constructive and Destructive Interferencehttps://littleshopofphysics.wordpress.com/2014/05/09/showmesomescience/
https://littleshopofphysics.wordpress.com/2014/05/09/showmesomescience/#respondFri, 09 May 2014 22:32:45 +0000http://littleshopofphysics.wordpress.com/?p=2117We are super excited to release our first podcast in our new series, Show Me Some Science! These short podcasts are designed to be used in the classroom or incorporated into your lessons.

In this episode we look at wave interference. When two waves meet they can interact before they pass through each other. They can add up or cancel out and this is know as constructive and destructive interference.

Join geologist (and EverDay Science Producer!) Herb Saperston as he explores mixtures along the Podure River.

Also, we look one last time at mixing and unmixing. This time the secret ingredient is salt!

He believed the four elements were Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

In this podcast we also look at physically un-mixing, or separating out mixtures into their basic substances.

In this episode, we see how we can use this to propel little paper “boats” on the surface of water.

Another way of thinking of it is that it does not mix with water. At all. We play around with magic sand and then find a way to get it wet!
